   I have an iPad 10th generation on iPadOS 18.5 that I've had for oh, about a   
   year or so, where over that time frame without an Apple Account set up on   
   it, I learned the MAGA Apple trolls didn't realize all the apps will die.   
      
   Yup. They die. The Apple trolls have no idea how iOS really works.   
   I know how iOS works because I test the system to see how it works.   
      
   Almost every native app on that iPad will die eventually, one by one,   
   because it wants an update that you can't get from the operating system   
   updates and since you don't have an Apple ID you can't get that update.   
      
   So the app just dies.   
   Every single one of them dies over time.   
      
   One by one.   
   It's only been a year of no Apple ID & they're already starting to die.   
      
   What this proves pretty much is that not only does the iPad start out as a   
   brain-dead dumb terminal, but over time, without the Apple Account, it gets   
   dumber and dumber until it becomes essentially inert.
